Tottenham, like Arsenal, are interested in bringing in Tielemans on an initial loan, while Newcastle and West Ham have also sounded out Monaco about the youngster’s availability.

At the moment, though, Leicester are in the driving seat and Tielemans is desperate to leave Monaco and test himself in the Premier League.

Tielemans has made 20 Ligue 1 appearances for Monaco during a difficult campaign, with the side stuck in a relegation dog fight.

He was rated as one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe during his time at Anderlecht and, despite his tender years, already has a wealth of experience, playing in the Champions League and helping Belgium to their third-place finish at the World Cup.
